Here and There.

A horrible affair has occupied n coro
ner's jury for three days. Some two
miles below Worlcy's, on the river. Mrs.
Martha d. Dickinson, who has been for
more than three years a widow. was in
April last charged with infanticide, ex-
amined before a justice and discharged.
A few weeks ago she determined TO re.
move to Marion to avoid the clamor
which she said pursued her. Before
leaving she left her daughter with her
father, and consigned her two little boys
to the keeping and care of l.. d. DAVIS,
one of these boys, Willie, aged ten years,
a few days ago, confided to Mr.. Davis
little eleven year old daughter, the story
that his mother had last spring given
birth to q babe, which she had handed to
him, and told him to put it into a Kettle
of water. Willie says he replied, "Oh, |
can't do this" But she again ordered
him to do so, adding she wished she had
been done so when She was a baby. He
says the little babe made a strangling
noise and kicked twice. After some ten
minutes he took 1t out, wrapped it in a
rag and laid 1t In a back room. AT 1 4.
m. Of that night, he took 1t to the house
Of a relative, who aided him in bnrying
it in a thicket ON the land of ]. A. Dish
man. He further agreed to show little
Clara Davis the grave next day, but
added she must not tell it, or 1t would
hang "me and ma, and uncle Milt."
Little Clara told her mother, and next
day Mr.. Davis notified Esquire Y. r.
Hines and John Dickinson, and these
three watched the little ones go to the
grave" in the thicket, last Wednesday
After the little ones had left, these gen,
tlemen went TO the spot and found the
infants remains covered by some six in
ches of earth.

We understand that ]. c. Stamps, of
this place, hassold his "Star marble quar-
ries' near Mooresburg. to a Chicago
company, the terms of sale being $50, 900
cash down. This company Is to repre-
sent a capital Of more than three million
dollars, and that they will build q rail.
road from Whitesburg TO their quarries,
establish electric lights so that they can
work their quarries by night, and do a
big business In general. This is exactly
what Hawkins county needs, as we have
unlimited quantities Of the finest marble
in the world, and all we want Is capital
with which to work 1t, as any of our
quarries will pay a handsomer dividend,
In the long run, than any gold mine that
boosted California ever possessed. Let
the monied men come, say we.
A report Is current that 1t Is a fixed fact
that Rogersville Is to have another bank,
and the following well known gentlemen
are named as Its projectors and principal
stockholders; ]. G. Stamps, A. b. Rogan,
Thos. McDermott, Alex. Smith, w. B.
Miller, r. NJ. Rogan, Geo. A. Smith, A.
d. Simpson, H. B. Stamps, and II. G.
Kyle. The bank will be started with O
capital Of $50, 900 and increased as tho
business may demand. A banking Office
will be fitted up In the Simpson building
and the company hope TO commence bust
ness In q short time. This, when opened
up. will be three banks for Rogersville.

All things considered, the first "break''

IS IT WORTH WHILE !

Is it worth while that we jostle brother, Bearing his load on the rough road of life? Is it worth while that we jeer at each other, In blackness of heart that we war to the
 knife:
 God pity us all in our pitiful strife. God pity us all as we jostle each other, God pardon us all for the triumphs we feel, When a fellow goes down meath his load on
 the heather,
 Pierced to the heart; words are keener than
 steel,
 And mightier far for woe than for veal Were it not we'll, in this brief little journey On over the lsthmus, down into the tide, We give him a fish instead of q serpent, Ere folding the hands to be and abide Forever, and aye, in dust at his side: Look at the roses saluting each other; Look at the herds all m peace on tine plains Man. and man only, makes war on his brother And laughs in his heart at his peril and pain, Shamed by the beasts that go down by the
 plain.
 Is it worth while that we battle to humble Some poor fellow being down in to the dust: God pity us all. Time too soon will tumble All of us together, like leaves in gust, Humbled, indeed, down into the dust.

Musical Education.

The prosperity and rapid growth of musical culture In the west has long since plotted out the stigma which al one time was cast upon it--that it's people were deficient in artistic tastes and beyond the power of high musi- cal culture. Perhaps as great an OK poncnt in the field ot music, which in the past has given zest to this move ment, and is new at work for the ad vancement of musical art, Is the Chicago Musical College. This insti- tuition has just finished its twentieth year of usefulness and Is pioneer among music schools of the west. The great success of this college enables the directors to show their appreci- ation of the interest manifested by the citizens of their city and the west in the school. by issuing fifteen FREE and one hundred partial scholarships in the different departments to talented and deserving pupils who are unable to pay the regular tuition of the college It k required that all ap- plicants should come well recom- .nended by the principal of his or her school or pastor of their church, possess exceptional musical talent and ability and be otherwise entitled to the advantages offered. In order that no expense may bc incurred by those receiving the free scholarship, the managers of the Chicago Music Co.,, Messrs. Lewis, Newell x Gibbs, have most generously offered to furnish these pupils with the sheet music free of charge that Is necessary in the course of study at the college. The examinations for the scholarships will occur about the first of September next at Central Music Hail, Chicago, Ill.,, and those desiring to enter should register at once, and will bc duly mo- tiie,i of the exact day and date for examination. This generosity is praise worthy and practical benefit, and Is magnanimous offer from n music school that has methods of instruction both thorough and comprehensive, and the development of musical talent is certain

The Future of Telegfsphy.

When 1t becomes possible, as Prof Elisha Gray proposes it shall become, and very soon, too, to use the telauto- graph so that a telegraph message shall bc reproduced in fac sjmile at the receiving end, reproducing every feature and pcculiarity of the scDder's caligraphy, the use and valne of the telegraph will be vastly increased and 1t will become a self recording and in- disputable means of business commit nication between far distant points Of course such an invention, which the eminent electrician referred so has already completed and operated, will entirely revolutiouize commercial telegraphy and make message as much an evidence as A recorded deed would be. And when to this is added a telephone which will record every conversation passing through il, so as to enable it to be reproduced as evil deDee in court, the triumph of speedy and perfect communication will be complete. In such period of rapid and recognizable telegraphic or teie- phone intercommunicatioD the poIit- ical fools may spare themselves the trouble of saying "Burn these Ietters," and Mercy election tricks will become useless.
